How good is your brother with computers?

If mediocre - I believe your best setup for him (and your sanity) is merely
a Cable/DSL Modem router (configured so you can get to his computer if need
be and remotely manage said router) and the built-in Windows Firewall with a
decent AntiVirus software with automatic updating features. This will give
your brother more than adequate protection without all the overhead they may
not be into keeping up with properly and eliminate your question completely.

If more than adequate in the 'knowledge of computers' part - let them choose
what they want so they will know they will be responsible for the upkeep.
