What could cause and what can be done about a smell coming from the A/C?

This is on my wife's 2002 Volvo S60.

Thanks!

Normal condensation can create mold on the evaporator, and the ducts....and gives you a musty smell. There are cleaners you can get to clean the crap off of the evaporator, but it's pretty involved, to be able to get to the evap to spray it.

It's either that, or a dead mouse.... LOL
