How the clue works
big effects if activated is your definition — it's that hidden piece of code that triggers when conditions are met. "Ultimately harmful" lifts the last letter of "harmful" to give you L, then combo big gets anagrammed (your signal being "effects") into OGICBOMB, and the two pieces slot together nicely.
