Norton 360 might have admin rights on your phone. Go to Settings - Security & Privacy - More Security Settings - Device admin apps. If Norton 360 is listed, turn the toggle to off. Then, go back to Settings - Apps and click on the listing for Norton 360. Click on Force Stop, then Click on App Details in Play Store and select Uninstall.
The actual names of the settings may be a little different buy searching with settings should help.
Hope this works.

Thanks a lot. I believe this solution may work. However, I can't get into settings when I click on settings, it opens, but immediately disappears.

Yes more than likely. However, since I was not interested in renewing, I ignored it. But that's no reason for them to put malware on my phone every time I try to uninstall their norton app

So, you are unable to get into phone settings at all? Did you try restarting and seeing if it works? If not, try starting the phone in Safe Mode and remove any software you don't recognize.
