I am presuming that this is not a NEW Win 7 machine since that's an older OS. But, new to you.
Win 7 remembers all the old WiFi connections it ever established. Click on the Wireless connection in the bottom right delete/remove all the connections it finds. Shut down. Restart. It should only find your new local signals.

All Win 7 8 users should remove old connections periodically to prevent this from happening.
