No, not at all.  It seems pretty civilised.  Plus, if you can't afford the £9.95 that Amazon are currently asking for a 3 user/1 year licence of F-Secure, registering your FREE browser with Comodo will result in an offer of a 3/1 licence of their Internet Security Suite Pro 2012 for a very reasonable USD 4.99.
