To disable "Entering Ex mode" in Vim

I get the following 10X times a day by accident.

Entering Ex mode. Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.

How can you disable the combo which causes it in Vim?

    I think NielsBom is completely right, please see the article. The command map is really evil in Vim and has caused me a lot of problems during years. I did not realize the thing before NielsBom's comment. So please use the following command instead:

    :nnoremap Q <Nop>
