go buy a filter, or read the stickies about spraying lysol into your system to kill the mold or whatever is on your current filter

You can buy special odor free spray that you set on the floor of the car- right under the glove box with spray pointing up at the bottom of the dashboard, turn on your AC to MAX with the recirculate function ON. Then set the can so it sprays, get out of the car and let it all vent through the vents. Recirculate function will pull air from under the glove box sucking in the stuff. This kills all the mold and mildue that resides on the evaporator and ducts of your HVAC system. After that I would recomend you repleace the incabin AC filter.
