DyFuCA infection

I have Office Basic Edition 2003 on CD Rom. This has been working fine until
recently. Now I appear to have a macro/infection on Word (Excel etc; are
fine). A dialer called DyFuCA appears to be the problem and is detected by
Spyware Stormer but not by Norton Antivirus 2004 or SpyBot. Every time I try
to delete DyFuCA it wipes out Office and then when I try to use Word, Office
2003 has to download again from the Internet. Once it does DyFuCA is there.
I have checked that I am using Spyware Stormer correctly (I am NOT connected
to the Internet when I ask it to delete threats/infections). I have upgrade
to Windows XP Home Edition SP2 but this does not appear to have had any
effect. Macros are set at medium and Automatic Updates are allowed. Any
suggestions as to how I can permanently eradicate DyFuCA?

Manual removal
Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove DyFuCA
manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully
and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail
if one single item is not deleted. If DyFuCA remains on your system after
stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping
through them again.
