I had several AVs installed on my machine by IT (we had Checkpoint, then
Kaspersky). They all magically ended up disabled (shhhh... don't tell
anyone).

In practice, if you need a whitelist, I can think of the following:
mingw32-make.exe, gcc.exe, g++.exe, cc1plus.exe, gdb.exe, nmake.exe,
jom.exe, cl.exe, *.cpp, *.c, *.h, *.hpp

Good luck!
