On occasions my 17" MacBook Pro emits a noxious smell. And another thing, I can't use it as a laptop unless I want 3rd degree burns on my lap. Way too hot!
Yes! After that SMC program screwed up my MBP, the damn thing is running so hot that it feels almost worse than it ever did before I tried that program. Although I can hear the fans running, I feel that they are not running anywhere near what they should be.
That SMC program now spontaneously deletes itself. I gave up. I'm now looking for Nomex chaps or boxer shorts...
