keyboard

Some of the keys on my keyboard are continously pressed. I am trying to disable that key using the following command:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 115='

or

xmodmap -e 'keycode 115='NoSymbol'

It works for some time, I can see the Symbol associated with that key getting updated using xev command. But the problem is it gets changed to it's default symbol after some time and starts creating the problem again. How can I overcome this issue.
