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.
Go one step further, do not make the wifi connection in your house, do not enter your password, then it will not be able to connect.
