As far as I know, no. It is an example of poor interface design. The 'red
X' should function as an indication that something has changed from the
original settings, NOT that the user has selected an option Norton deems a
less secure. In your cited case, with the 'red X' always waving, there is
no indicator left to indicated an unwanted change. The same defect in
design causes the 'red X' to appear when other choices are deliberately
made - no scan on outgoing email, for example.
If you can discover how to complain to Norton, do so.
