How do I import effects into AE or Premiere Pro correct?

This isn´t so easy as I thought. Normaly I would say:
-Download
-Install
-Buy Key
-Enter Key
-Make some awesome shit

But often it isn´t that easy. I found the earthshaker effect (freeware):
http://scottfrizzle.com/free.html

The quaker isn´t for install and the help file says:

To use Quaker, select the layer you wish to affect, and go to Effect>Apply
Favorite. Find Quaker on your hard drive and select it (I recommend you put it in
the Adobe After Effects>filter favorites folder, that way it will always appear in
your filter favorites menu.)

Aha. Yeah ok it was designed for AE 6, but how should I use it, if there isn´t something called Apply at the Effect´s menu?

The main question is: How do I import effects into AE or Premiere Pro correct?

The help file of AE says not really something that would help me. Google too and hey it can´t be the simpel copy & past stuff in explorer. Or could it be?

Actually, it usually is as simple as copying and pasting in Explorer. Once the effect is in the proper effect directory, Premiere or AE will auto load it and it will show up in your effects list just like all the other effects.

Yes I really do

I´m more the fan of simpel improt functions and commands. =/

Thank you for help.
