One IGEX 76Ge double-beta decay detector is currently operating in theCanfranc Underground Laboratory in a search for dark matter WIMPs, through theGe nuclear recoil produced by the WIMP elastic scattering. In this talk wereport on the on-going efforts to understand and eventually reject thebackground at low energy. These efforts have led to the improvement of theneutron shielding and to partial reduction of the background, but still theremaining events are not totally identified. A tritium contamination ormuon-induced neutrons are considered as possible sources, simulations andexperimental test being still under progress. According to the success of thisstudy we comment the prospects of the experiment as well as those of its futureextension, the GEDEON dark matter experiment.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, talk given at 4th International Workshop on the  Identification of Dark Matter, York, September 200
