4. Depending on the context, I'd probably take it as a compliment.

As has been said before, it is a process of elimination - they can only choose so many applicants.

For most applicants (including those who are interviewed), it's probably easy to find something to cause them to say 'no' to the applicant - be it a lack of relevant experience, typos on the application, poor posture in the interview, etc. If they can't find anything to stop them from hiring you, that seems to be (IMO) a good sign.

So if they are "trying to think of any reason not to hire you," but can't, that would seem to indicate that you are in a good position - with the caveat that there are probably others of whom the manager has the same opinion.
