Here's another way

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Cells.FormatConditions.Delete

.EntireRow.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
AddRowBorders Target.EntireRow
With .EntireColumn
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
End With
AddColumnBorders Target.EntireColumn

.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End With

End Sub

Private Sub AddRowBorders(pRow As Range)

Is it possible to automaticly highlight the entire row and column when I
select an certain cell?
