  ANTARES is the first neutrino telescope in the sea. It consists of a
three-dimensional array of 885 photomultipliers to collect the Cherenkov light
induced by relativistic muons produced in CC interactions of high energy
neutrinos. One of the main scientific goals of the experiment is the search for
dark matter. We present here the analysis of data taken during 2007 and 2008 to
look for a WIMP signal in the Sun. WIMPs are one of the most popular scenarios
to explain the dark matter content of the Universe. They would accumulate in
massive objects like the Sun or the Galactic Center and their self-annihilation
would produce (directly or indirectly) high energy neutrinos detectable by
neutrino telescopes. Contrary to other indirect searches (like with gamma rays
or positrons), the search for neutrinos in the Sun is free from other
astrophysical contributions, so the interpretation of a potential signal in
terms of dark matter is much more robust.
