What does it mean when the Speed attribute in the status screen is highlighted red. Does this mean that my speed has been changed because of some disease or magical attack ? If so, how can I get rid of it ?

Exactly.
When a stat is red its mostly lowered by disease.
Check the potion vendors in the mages guilds and buy a restore speed potion, or get healed at a shrine in temples.
And heres a free advise, always carry a couple of restore strenght potions, nothing is more annoying then droping stuff because you are encumbered and cant move after getting a str debuff disease by some nasty bonewalker.

You´re preaching to the choir, man That´s exactly what happened to me yesterday. I killed off the mage and his two bonewalkers in the mine nw of Balmora (near the Daedric Shrine), but couldn´t move because my str was 0. Imagine my surprise !

That happened to me for the first time too, in the bandit cave west of Caldera. Stupid Bonewalker took me to 0 strength. I had to drop all my stuff, cast Divine Intervention, go to the altar and then run all the way back. Stupid cliff racers kept beating the crap out of me because I had no armor.

But (apart from disease) none of these effects are permanent, right? The Bonewalker thing for example ... doesn't it wear off in time? As long as you're not in any immediate danger, you could just leave your character and go make a coffee or have a smoke or something, and wait for it to wear off, right?

in the temple at morag mar is a priest who sells you all the restore attribute spells....

LMFAO!! poor bastard... hehe.... Jack that unarmored and agility up

Magic effects will wear off, but I do not think that any disease effects will where off unless healed of the disease, or attributes are restored.

Question, has anyone who has gotten corpus tried just restoring the negatively affected attributes, while leaving their strength monsterously high?

this is the infamous corpus exploit....

get corpus, and turn off autosave when rest, and go to stronghold and crash for about 100 days...

restore int and others via spell, then emerge much rested and very very powerfullllllllllllllllllllllll........................
