Just pushing it up and down won't help.
There will be a screw device (knurled top to hand adjust or with a sot for a screwdriver) to allow you to vary the height of the float. Normally if you turn it clockwise it will descend and anti-clockwise it will rise. Edit - the other way round clockwise to go down, anti clock to come up - sorry.
Try adjusting that (downwards) so that the water stops coming in when it reaches about 1 inch below the overflow outlet.
If that doesn't work you may have a problem within the valve itself. There will probably be a small flap valve inside. Sometimes these aren't very good. Easy to replace but if you haven't had it that long and it's been doing it since installation get onto the supplier and bleat. They'll probably send you a new one. Sadly this is not a not uncommon with these - particularly if it wasn't that expensive.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
