Although I do not own a Viewsat myself nor do I recommend loading 3rd party software on one, it is my understanding that the only way to erase all evidence of third party software on an FTA box is by Jtagging it. It is also my understanding that this is not possible with a VS.
Feel free to correct me if I am misinformed on this issue.

There are cleaner files for removing all traces of installing 3rd party files for every Viewsat receiver model. These cleaner files are available in every Viewsat model file download section.
Also a note here - it is best to write this cleaner file 3 times, and also factory default 3 times to ensure the EEPOMs are devoid of all traces.
