The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a
high-energy neutrino telescope based at the geographic South Pole. It
is a lattice of photo-multiplier tubes buried deep in the polar ice,
which is used as interaction and detection medium. The primary goal of
this detector is the observation of astronomical sources of high-energy
neutrinos. This paper shows the latest results of the search for a
diffuse flux of extraterrestrial \nu \mu s with energies
between 1011 eV and 1018 eV, \nu \mu s
emitted from point sources and \nu \mu s from dark matter
annihilation in the Earth and the Sun.
