That number is the number of antivirus providers that mark the file as malicious. 9 detections also means 58 of them detected nothing. Check the provided source code and/or check the binaries with a decomp tool. any.run is also a good tool for analyzing the behavior of a program in a VM.

Virustotal scans aren't "a lie." You just misinterpreted the results of the scan. Virustotal does not tell you if something is or isn't a virus. It tells you what antiviruses think of the file and scans for specific behaviors that might indicate something is malicious. How you interpret that info is up to you.

VirusTotal has a lot of niche antiviruses that often give a false positive. Check if any of the popular antiviruses like Avast/AVG, ClamAV, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes or Microsoft detect it as a virus.
