Try to run the application as administrator because this application strongly depends on security access and handlers. Select the main icon and right click it. Use Run as Administrator then confirm the selection and the application will have necessary security rights to stop the modules. Alternatively, use the buttons from the main interface to start the modules automatically.
As you can see, Norton 360 failed to protect you. In this case you will need to obtain an advanced tool which combats trojans, browser hijackers, spyware, etc. GMER is able to wipe these infections by using simple, yet powerful tools. Download the application, run it and perform a scan of the computer. If you see any red items on the scan list, right click them and select Delete, then perform the same scan 2-3 times in a row.
I believe that you have downloaded a Chinese version of the software. Please use the standard download of the software and install it again. You can uninstall your current version from Add/Remove Programs. Also, make sure your computer is set to English in Regional settings found in Control Panel and then proceed to a fresh installation of the standard package.
Which will do a better cleaning of my PC of unused/unwanted programs, and provide better protection?

Norton 360 is an antivirus solution with additional protection features. TuneUp Utilities is a tweaking utility that you use to customize various aspects of your Windows operating system. You can use them both, one for protection and one for cleaning unnecessary files and other temporary files, registry keys, invalid ActiveX entries etc.
Of course, Norton 360 provides protection and cleaning which Tuneup Utilities is lacking because it doesn't have active virus protection.
Norton 360 runs a process that indicated it is taking a look at the registry. However, when I run a registry cleaner like UniBlue, it claims that there are hundreds of errors in my registry. What's going on? Is Norton incompetent when it comes to cleaning up the registry, or is UniBlue finding a lot of bogus errors in order to sell their product?

I believe the reliability of Uniblue products is not to be trusted. According to the information found on the web, it's recommended to use something better than Uniblue. You can try CCLeaner which makes a safe job removing obsolete registry files.
Norton 360 is a good product, but it consumes your system's resources way too fast aggressively too.
You can download and and install the updates manually from the Norton Security Updates web page or you can use the solution provided by Norton Update Center. Click the Update Me Now button and your Norton product will be detected and updated automatically.
You shouldn't expose your serial key on the Internet since you've paid good money for it. Contact Norton 360 and I believe they will issue a new key or you will have to buy the product again if you need to install it on another computer.
How can I uninstall Norton 360? I have tried the uninstall it so many times from my control panel that I believe the Norton product is a malware that can not be taken off.
