Weak radiative corrections have been shown to significantly alter the energy spectra of Standard Model particles originated from the annihilation/decay of Dark Matter particles. This somewhat surprising result is related to the fact that above the symmetry breaking scale electroweak corrections feature an energy-growing behaviour. After a brief review of general results on Tev scale electroweak corrections in relation with the infrared structure of the Standard model, I present the results of recent calculations and discuss their impact on Indirect Dark Matter searches.
