Not that I know of. I use my Windows partition on my laptop quite a bit and the last thing I want is that stupid Cisco software installed in my browser. In addition to increasing the attack surface of the browser, I refuse to run Symantec's latest crapware so the scan would always fail. To avoid it I use the User Agent Switcher addon [1] for Firefox to change all instances of "Windows" to "Linux". Switching temporarily to my Linux UA I can get on the wireless network without installing anything and then switch back to the default for normal browsing. But shhhh. Don't tell OIT or they'll try and "fix" it.
