today my avatar becamed to say heavy indecent words, without any my personal action. I seemed a griefer. I hadn't any new object active, nothing of different of the other days. The problem became 5 hours later my connection. My avatar were dancing with the classical object of a dance ball, like others avatar, but mine was the only with this problem.

TIA

If the words were green, not white, then it was likely someone with an object pretending to be you. It's a juvenile prank that some griefers pull.

Most people would realize that it's not you, and not be angry at you for it.

Is there a way to prevent that and/or identify who is using those kind of object?

One way is, press Ctrl+\, then use the mousewheel to zoom in and you'll be staring right at the last chatter

Then you think that it happened because who "was me" was in the same place where I was. I thought that someone could give me an "innocent" object (or without my permission if it's possible) that can be controlled from other islands, for example.

This type pf problem does not even have to be an object attached to you, it can just be sitting anywhere nereby like on the dance floor.

An object in SL (scripted) can scan for nereby avs, get their names then fake "say" something as if it came from you but the etxt will be green not white. That's the clue to point out that it's not you saying it to other people.

Unless you meant that it happened to you in two compeltely different locations. Then is would be something attached to you (or following if it was in the same sim) but doing basically the same thing.

Teleport somewhere (Will get rid of a "follower";), then right click on one of the default clothing sets in the library and select "replace outfit", that should remove everything possible. Then you can put your old outfit back on and that /should/ clear the problem up if it was really attached to you.
