How scan different 'Manual" selections

As far as I can figure out, I can only choose ONE manual selection of
drives for a scan job in Avira free. What if I want to scan a
different drive each evening?

Define more than one scan job perhaps? Probably better not to overlap
them, like run them at the same time but on different days, or enough
hours apart that the first scan completes before the second begins.
Multiple concurrent scans may be possible but you'll have to check.
Avira has their forum of users.

Thanks - but this doesn't answer my question. I never run more than
one scan at a time. I can define more than one scan job - but how do I
change which drives are included in each scan if I want to be specific
on the drives scanned? I changed the drives in two scan jobs under
"Manual" but, once you change those options, they remain the same no
matter which scan job is running. I must be missing something.

Page 21 of the manual. You'll have to see what "profiles" they
pre-defined for you or how you might configure them.
