Abstract
The AMANDA neutrino telescope and its successor IceCube are situated
at the South Pole, 2 km below the surface. Their main scientific
purpose is to detect neutrino radiation from cosmic accelerators.
AMANDA and IceCube are also being used in the search for dark
matter and exotic particles: magnetic monopoles and Q-balls. The
latest results from the exotic particle search will be presented.
The handling of data artefacts induced by electromagnetic waves and
other disturbances will also be presented briefly.
