Yes.
They also force users to install literal malware into their computers masquerading as a "security module". Not only is it invasive, it slows down everything to a crawl. I tried to reverse engineer one such module and caught it intercepting every single network connection. It also used to force install itself into browsers as an extension, no doubt in order to intercept data.

That's exactly what I did. Chose a smaller bank that somehow didn't use this malware. The least bad option.
