This "sweat sock smell" is typical of any car that's allowed moisture to accumulate in the condenser and mold has taken hold. The AC system removes the moisture from the air and it collects on the condenser. There are some products you can buy that you spray into the vents. It's supposed to kill the mold and might work, otherwise, you're looking at removing and cleaning the system.

To prevent this, run the fans without the AC blowing for a minute or two before you turn the car off. It dries off the condenser.
