Get the 7.18 upgrade pkg file from here:

http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283674966&flowid=24482&softwareid=282549759&release=7.1(8)E4&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

The readme is available from the same link.

In order to apply 7.1(8), the minimum required running version is 6.0(6) on 42xx series sensors, which you have, so you can simply apply the upgrade pkg. Apply it via IDM is probably the easiest way - or check the readme for CLI instructions.

7.1(8) is packaged with signature level s735 - if you have a more recent level, that will be preserved, if not, you will end up @ s735. Then you can update the signature package to the most current level from here:
