ya you can use winrar (its a zip program) and when you zip it just use password protection.

I think he looks for some of encryption app that doesn't compress his files;

Do you and your bro share the same PC?
if yes, do you and your bro use the same account?
if yes:: create a seperate account for yer bro; then log in with your account and revoce all read/write access of the files in question for your bro's account (properties on a file and look @ the security tab)

other than that, I can't think of an app that encrypts file *AND* is free - sry
