Number 1 is wrong.
Number 2 is correct and the best way to phrase it.
Number 3 is technically correct, but very awkward.
Number 4 is wrong.

To add to the consensus seen in other answerers' replies, both #2 and #3 are grammatically correct, but #2 better reflects the way native speakers of English actually talk.

number three is correct. number 2 is seemlingly correct, because it is popular. 1 is far from correct, and 4 is missing a few words.

2 is correct and by far the best.
3 is ok but odd and needlessly wordy.
