Most Common Malware Related Processes-Fun.exe

The Israz mass mailing worm drops a copy of the fun.exe file and process on infected computers. This mass mailing worm, once installed, will send a copy of itself to all contacts found in your Windows contact book. Through relatively harmless to the individual infected computer, it can cause problems with email servers, and potentially slow your system or cause your Internet connection to become basically useless. Recipients may also become distressed about receiving infected messages from you, so could potentially cause problems with business contacts you might have.

Initially, this mass mailer is spread through the KaZaA file sharing network and, once it has infected a computer, it will download a copy of itself into the KaZaA downloads folder as well as emailing itself to all of your contacts. There are some minor browser hijacking elements to the worm as well, because it will redirect all .url files to point to specific pages.
