48 hours is two days. Try this macro:

Sub rowkiller()
Dim n As Long
Dim d As Date
Dim lt As String
Dim dte As Date
d = Date
n = Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row
For i = n To 1 Step -1
lt = Cells(i, "J").Value
dte = Cells(i, "K").Value
If lt = "ABC" And d - dte 2 Then
Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

The result on your posted data is:

MNO 31-01-09
MNO 31-01-09
ABC 03-02-09
MNO 03-02-09
MNO 31-01-09
MNO 01-02-09
ABC 04-02-09
