zlibrary on telegram is the official source behind the websit and they announced a windows app, i downloaded it and got only one threat: a ransomware, i know this is non worrying but someone on the community tab commented some gibberish that maybe indicate something

the virustotal link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/96eba9b6c29a025fc3984926ea2c5f05181fde18d825f0ab823e5e172369b7e8/community

btw bonus question: can files be flagged 0/60 and still have some kind of malware or virus ?

Just avoid running random binaries from untrusted sources; prefer open source

So much this.

And not only with "shady" software, since binaries can be replaced without the original trusted source being aware of. Supply chain attacks are real.
