Default String Contains a Value

I would like a certain action to be carried out if a specified string is
found anywhere within the active cell. What code can I use to evaluate the
condition?

Eg if Customer is found anywhere in the active cell, I want to delete the
current row.

if instr(1,cell.Value,"ABC",vbTextcompare) then
cell.EntireRow.Delete
end if
