Index funds are far from being a mutal fund. Mutual funds are actively managed, whereas index funds are passively managed meaning there are no substatial fees to pay. A good index fund is the Vanguard500 which consists of nothing more than the S&P500 companies. FYI, index funds out perform 90% of mutual funds year after year...that top 10% is tough to be in, and no single mutual fund has been able to stay in it for multiple years.
