Will adhesive hooks peel paint?

We just picked up some picture hangers from Lowes. They have like a fabric tab with adhesive on the back and a hook. I noticed AFTER I got home that online it seems Command is what most people use. Now I'm worried that the ones I got won't be easy to remove. They do have a tab like thing where the hook is. Kinda hard to explain. Oh wait, here is a link to what they look like :

    Sure will unless you use some sort of solvent to loosen the adhesive first but not the paint.

    Found a dab or two of acetone at the top of the attachment, let it set in a few minutes and applied again works pretty good.
