Default Deleting Columns with String

The sub below deletes columns containing certain words or strings. My only
problem is if I pass a "*". If I have a cell has a "*", the below code
deletes almost all columns.

Can someone help me modify it so it will only effect cells with an asterisk?


Sub DeleteColumnswString(ByVal sString As String)

Dim LastCol As Long
Dim r As Long
LastCol = Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Column
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For r = LastCol To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountIf(Columns(r), "*" & sString & "*") < 0 _
Then Columns(r).Delete
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
